The Samples Came Rolling In, for It's All In The Bag

The samples are a flowin'! I went to the post yesterday morning, they are open for 2 hours on Saturday, and I wanted to make sure that if someone sent something kind of melty that it wouldnt sit there all weekend. I got 3 boxes in the mail yesterday, all of them with cool different items.

The first box I tore into was from Camille Wanders, they sent in cute little organic hand dyed pouches, very cool and well made!

Bella Pure's box was next, I opened it to find samples of facial moisturizing night creme, vegan of course, and even a bag of items for me to try and review! Our very first submission for review on this blog! It's easy, send in any item you would like me to review, my mailing address is on the sidebar! So far so good with the items she sent me for review, keep your eyes peeled this coming week. My skin is super sensative and it is loving Bella Pure so far!

Last but not least at all are Veganessas awesome felt pouches, they are all so cute. Some have little animals, some have sayings, some are circles some are squares. Very creative and cute! Jessi still uses hers from the last round of sample bags!

Promote your craft around the world, while helping animals!

Looking for a laugh, something to cheer me up, on a gloomy miserable day!

It is raining outside, again, we still havnt had a summer, and now I am having problems with my jaw. Who knows what it could be, but I am in P-A-I-N. So this morning I woke up, tried to eat some breakfast (my mouth barely opens) and now I am looking for funny shops to cheer me up! First thing I found while looking on Artfire was this funny little magnet, says it all about sisterhood!

This magnet really gave me a giggle so I decided to check out the rest of picardcreative's shop, and there are so many funny creative magnets that it was hard to choose which ones to include in this post!!

Also known as chub rub, this one just makes me laugh out loud!













This one really reminds me of my grandmother, she says shes too old for things she doesnt want to do, then the fun stuff....shes the perfect age for!!

Mommy Dearest! When I was young and my mother would yell at me, I would call her mommy dearest! I always loved that movie, and NO MORE WIRE HANGERSS! I used to try to get my mom to say it, then I would laugh and laugh and laugh, then rewind the movie and watch that part again and again!

This little rag bag is goin to the beach!

When I was wandering around etsy this morning, I happened upon this totally cute rag bag! It just screams summer at me, about an inch from my face, so I thought I would share it with everyone. Would be a great little bag to bring to the beach on a sunny day. Naturally Comfy also makes quilts with the same raggy look, too cute!

Have a Birdy Day

I made a post on the dreaded etsy forums this morning looking for that special shop to feature, when I happened upon MNH Photography. A shop filled with photos of the wonders of the wilderness and the creatures within.

Sadly, I read the shop announcement after checking out the shop, and they will be closing after all of the current listings sell out.

So if you fancy some beautiful new nature photos for your home or office, now is the time!

My personal favorite is the top birdie with the "bad hair day", so cute!

When it's cold outside, I shop etsy!

It has been cold and miserable here in upstate NY recently, and there's no better time to lurk around on etsy, looking for some retail therapy!

I was searching vegan candles, because I am always on the quest for a good vegan candle. Not too chemically, not too stinky, not too plain....so I am constantly trying new sellers and new scents.

I stumbled upon:

Simply Pure Soy Candles

Lemon Lollipop

Dreamy Pleasures

and I think I am going to have to give them all a shot!

We are putting together a nice little gift basket for my grandmother, since she is very ill, and I want to get candles from a handfull of sellers on etsy. Then gramma can test them out, and let me know which ones are keepers! These candles might not be tested on animals, but they will be tested on gramma!

Get Retro. Go Vegan, Look Fancy, Glass Pearl Necklace

Metal Cloth N Wood caught my eye with this glass pearl beaded collar, at first I didnt even realize that it wasnt attached to the shirt itself. Such a beautiful piece of handcrafted jewelry.

Vegan food safe lead free pottery dishes AND they are cute to boot!

Looking to spoil yourself? Just buy your first home and want nothing but the best? Are you vegan and P-R-O-U-D? Vegan Dish makes some super awesome food safe and lead free pottery. I contacted vegan dish a month or so ago when we were moving into our new apartment, I wanted something fabulous and vegan!

Wake up to a big cuppa tea

Dont forget the raw sugar and vegan creamer!

I generally use my tea to wash down a delicious vegan muffin! Yummm

Vegan dish also runs a little pottery shop full of handmade functional ceramics at Vessels and Wares
